20 Photos of #teamnatural 4a Hair

If you’d never buy a “one-size-fits-all” blouse, why would you base all of your haircare ideas on one category? We created the NaturallyCurly Texture Typing System not to give you a perfect answer to your curl type questions, but to give you a tool to help you figure out how to maintain your beautiful crown. This system breaks hair down into 3 categories, and then 3 subgroups within those categories. However, when you use this chart it is important to remember that most people have more than one curl type on their head – sometimes up to 4 different types! Your hair is an incredible thing that can completely change with different products, weather or days of the week and you should never feel like you need to check just one box.

4a hair consists of tightly coiled curls that have the circumference of a crochet needle. Slightly prone to breakage, Type 4 hair can be fragile, highly porous, and can be very fine and wiry. No need to fret though, as type 4a coilies tend to hold more moisture in their strands than their 4b and 4c counterparts. Most 4a coilies also share multiple textures with their 3c and 4b sisters!
